Gower was the first place in the UK to be designated as an 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty' in 1956. As a result it has not been spoilt by development while farming has remained the same for decades.It has more than 200km of pathways and bridleways to explore and is a wonderful place for outdoor activities as well as to have a great family beach holiday. 
The cottage has plenty of information about what to see and do but here are some useful sites to look at to plan your holiday.
